Antti Rinne's Political Career
Antti Rinne became the leader of the Social Democratic Party of Finland (SDP) in May 2014. He won against the previous leader, Jutta Urpilainen. He was re-elected for a second term as party leader in 2017.
From 2014 to 2015, he held two important government jobs. He was the Minister of Finance, in charge of the country's money matters. He was also the Deputy Prime Minister of Finland, helping the Prime Minister lead the government.

His Time as Prime Minister
Antti Rinne and his government resigned on December 3, 2019. This happened because another party in the government, the Centre Party, decided to stop supporting him. There had been a big strike by postal workers in Finland, which caused some disagreements.
After his resignation, President Sauli Niinistö asked Rinne to continue leading the country temporarily. This was until a new government could be formed. On December 10, 2019, Sanna Marin was appointed as the new Prime Minister of Finland.
After stepping down as Prime Minister, Rinne was elected as the First Deputy Speaker of the Parliament on December 11, 2019. He served in this role for about a year.
In the 2023 Finnish parliamentary election, Antti Rinne ran again but was not re-elected to Parliament. In August 2023, he took on a new role as the General Secretary of SAMAK for three years.
